Set at a Catholic boys school in the Bronx in the 1960s, Doubt is a power play between characters that represent two philosophies of the religion. Catholicism as a representation of old-world guilt and shame is portrayed by Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep), a fearsome nun with no sense of humor and an iron will for discipline. The kinder, gentler approach is taken by the school’s head priest Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman). When Aloysius suspects Flynn of an inappropriate relationship with the school’s first black student, with no proof other than hearsay and her own conviction, it sets off a fire storm that threatens to derail the entire parish.
